April 9, 2007—MDI, Inc., a leading provider of Unified Technology solutions for the security industry, has received a purchase order to provide products, engineering services, and technical solutions for integrated access control and alarm management at 60 critical locations within Wake County Government in North Carolina.
MDI provides access control and alarm management for Wake County’s corporate security. The system is used extensively for Court and Corporate duress and dispatching, from Wake County’s Security Center, and is integrated with voice and video systems. Wake County relies on real-time physical access, scheduling and location validation for key personnel across county government facilities.
Wake uses MDI as a secondary detention access and alarm monitoring system, including a system-wide guard-tour solution spanning three detention facilities.
MDI notes that Wake was able to customize capabilities within the system to meet its specific needs, versus relying on off-the-shelf integrated systems that are not capable of customizing beyond their core feature-set.
Wake County chose the upgrade based on MDI’s long-term service to Wake County, its ability to sustain a high-end multi-server security system (28,000 card holders), and its ability to provide corporate and detention solutions that share enrollment while safeguarding access boundaries.
